There’s an extension to this problem which I haven’t got past. More generally I’d like the agent to stop and ask questions when it encounters ambiguity that it can’t reasonably resolve itself. If someone can get agents doing this well it’d be a massive improvement (and also solve the above).
- stavros 7mo agoHm, with my "plan everything before writing code, plus review at the end" workflow, this hasn't been a problem. A few times when a reviewer has surfaced a concern, the agent asks me, but in 99% of cases, all ambiguity is resolved explicitly up front.

- eproxus 7mo agoIn planning I sometimes add ”ask me questions as we go to iron out details and ambiguities.” Works quite well.
- vitaflo 7mo agoThis. Just asking it to ask you questions before proceeding has saved me so much time from it making assumptions I don’t want. It’s the single most important part of almost all my prompts.
